linux - Dual boot Arch and Windows 10 with GRUB

I've been using Ubuntu for a while and recently decided to start using Arch. I have both a 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD in my system. When installing Arch on my SSD, I created partitions for /boot /home / (root) as well as a swap partition. I also have Windows 10 installed on my HDD using the default partitions. I would like to be able to dual boot between the 2 operating systems. I installed GRUB to my SSD on /dev/sda, but now when I boot into GRUB, I only see the option to boot into Arch, not Windows. I was wondering how I could boot into Windows via GRUB.



I have a default "/etc/grub.d/40_custom" file:



#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries
. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be care
ful not to change

# the 'exec tail' line above.


When I run "lsblk", I get:



NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 111.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot

└─sdb4 8:20 0 930.9G 0 part


Running "fdisk -l" gives me:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
